"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." -Matthew 11:28-30 (NASB)
We may see problems wherever we may turn. The news is filled with stories and images that show the darker side of humanity. I recently saw a quote from Mr. Rogers that reminds us that when we see tragedy, we should also look for helpers. Whenever we are tired and worn out, we can look to our ultimate helper.
No matter how dark the situation around us may seem, God can see us through it. He has sent His Son to be our helper, to lighten our load. Instead of evil, anger, stress, and darkness, we can take on a humble, gentle, and lighter burden. We can find rest for our minds and souls by trusting in Jesus and allowing Him to help us. We can't let ourselves be overwhelmed by darkness, we have to be willing to look for our Helper and allow Him to give us an easier yoke to carry!
Look to Jesus as your Helper and allow Him to give you a lighter load to bear!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me, for sending Your Son to help me, and for being willing to give me a lighter burden to bear. Please help me to remember to turn all things over to You and to allow You to help. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
